My grandmother, who has had issues with her blood pressure, has been staying at Midland Regional Hospital. However, when my concerned mother decided to check my grandmother’s recent readings during a visit she found that her blood pressure was not even being monitored. I'm outraged, but by no means shocked or surprised, as this is typical of the Midland Regional Hospital. Of course, once confronted, the staff began taking regular readings.
When my older sister, Donna, was an adolescent, back in roughly 2005, she had been suffering from severe abdominal pain. My mother brought her to doctors at Midland Regional Hospital on numerous occasions. On one occasion, while my sister had jaundice, a doctor at this hospital would harass her every chance he got (usually when my mother wasn't there to defend her) about alcoholism, as he would relentlessly accuse her of being an alcoholic, being too sure of his presumptions, as many of these condescending self-righteous fools are. As it turned out, NO ALCOHOL had showed up in tests. Apology? I think not. Previously doctors had accused her of making the entire thing up to avoid school. But as it turned out, my sister had a severe case of gallstones and had to undergo surgery. My sister was subject to months of EXCRUCIATING PAIN because some of these incompetent, self-righteous, conformation bias chasing, arrogant doctors.
In 2008, I had to visit an individual from the mental health services at a unit on the grounds of this hospital. I had an eating disorder, starving myself and excessively exercising at fourteen to loose weight, since nobody in the health services expressed interest in helping with my weight. I had my diet and weight under control thereafter, getting down to 8 stone and only gaining an insignificant amount of weight thereafter (mostly attributed to normal growth). When questioned about effects of solvent abuse, I listed effects, including that I would hear noises (tones repeating and in spontaneous patterns) and have involuntarily movements (e.g. head swaying, limbs flopping) during intoxication. He twisted this to "hearing voices and abusing solvents”. An absurd fabrication for which he should be criminally prosecuted. One doesn't simply confuse such words. He fabricated more. He had me admitted to an adult psychiatric unit on the grounds of St. Loman’s where the treatment was degrading and anti-therapeutic. However, I was transferred to suitable care, from which I was discharged very soon afterwards, due to NO sign of mental illness. Despite the results and my eating disorder, he forced me to take medications which caused rapid weight gain, and responded to my attempts of crash diets with threats of force-feeding. He did not even check my weight until the last few weeks. I starved myself for months after being taken off the medications. The warnings were present. Irresponsible! He would pathetically make rationalizations in which he attempted attributing my compliance with his demands (submission out of fear) as the “treatment” working. Twisted. He traumatized and further stunt me while doing everything in his power to create an illusion suggesting otherwise. The two individuals I had seen there after he left agreed with my opinion that I should not have been medicated, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they now denied this (typical). I regularly contemplated suicide, and still do to this day over the so-called "treatment". Many of those involved in my treatment were rude, condescending, abusive, and negligent.
Another doctor here claimed that my systolic blood pressure reading was "normal" at 140 after a nurse took my blood pressure. My GP seemed to disagree with this being a "normal" reading for a 25 year old man and requested that I take regular readings at home to determine whether I have high blood pressure and require treatment or not. As it turned out, my blood pressure was not usually this high, and likely elevated due to my intense fear of doctors (for obvious reasons), but they still should not have been so dismissive.

The overall rating displayed here is not reliably representative of the collective patient experience, as there are also employees (try spotting a few) submitting ratings and reviews, so don't be mislead. The sheer amount of cockups in the maternity services at this hospital are absolutely astonishing. Their cocky doctors have issues understanding that their weak inductions are far from convictions. Serious lacking of critical thought, thoroughness and accountability.

The recent renovation really lightens up the 1980s era extension of the hospital.

Staff were brilliant. Clean and not overly busy when I went. The doctor was great with my son. My only gripe was struggling to park as so busy, couldn't park very close and had to carry a very heavy young lad in and I went there in a hurry so didn't even think about paying for parking so had to find somewhere to get money to pay all whilst still carrying him.
